Stop comparing yourself to others. Everyone is running their own race.

They may be in a lucky spot professionally but personally their life may be in shambles. Everyone’s lives come and go in waves - sometimes you’re at the crest, sometimes you’re in the valley. Try to be appreciative of what you have - if you can’t do it on your own, I suggest talking to someone professionally about it

“Chill” translates to less reps, less rigor, less learning. If you’re in this for the growth, that’s not a great project to be on. If you’re in this for the WLB and you’re also trying to work as little as possible, then I guess I understand the jealousy

You focus on you. There’s plenty of natural iniquities that happen, but if you make your own luck you’ll do just fine. Someone else’s luck doesn’t affect you, so there’s no point in begrudging them for it.

You don't know what is going on in this person's life! They could be struggling with depression and anxiety or have health issues! Just because on the surface they seem fine isn't always the truth. You are just seeing one side of this person. It is okay for you to feel jealousy, but don't let it ruin your own accomplishments or your own mood. Allow yourself to Complain about it for a few minutes and then let it go.

You make more money than the next guy :)
